2006-05-07 - UK - Hestercombe gardens BMW Meet Nr Taunton

Not far off now so time to decide if you can make it

Last year the show was blessed with warm sunshine all day so we can only hope for a repeat but remember a packed lunch! not much to eat last time!.

I'll definatly be there, so see you there

800 mile round trip 33.3 mpg is the average at one point i was tootaling along at 70mph and the trip computer was telling me 41.5 mpg .
After that i just didn't believe the results, thinking that i may be needing a new computer ££££'s, but i left Watford with just over 3/4 tank & arrived home just under 1/4 remaining, comupter showing 120 miles worth of fuel left. Now what i can't work out, is someone /thing playing tricks on me, or have i now got the most ecconomical V8 on the planet

Had a bit of fun with a Saab turbo, after leaving a junction on the A30 and smoothly gaining speed about 60mph i noticed this saab coming like stink, quickly up the pace 80-90 but the bugger was still pulling closer so i did what any self respecting BM driver would do, an instant trip up to 125 certainly pissed on his parade (forgot tosay this section of road was uphill)
but the power from 3000 revs is i would say50 -60% better than stock

See you soon if i've still got a license
